Ansible is one of the leading tools for software provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment. In this course, you will learn the ins and outs of Ansible with the goal of managing and automating your infrastructure and code’s deployment.

You will learn how to set up a docker environment, connect with cloud providers like AWS and Azure, manage infrastructure on AWS and Azure using Ansible, and lastly how to automate configuration and state management processes. Throughout each section, you will dive into the fundamentals of Ansible through practical and real-world scenarios.

By the end, you will have a great new skill that will open a lot of doors for you like cloud computing and DevOps. This will definitely be a good tool to put on your resume and will help you further your career.

Ansible: Zero to Production Ready

# Cloning a repository
Git’s advantage as a _distributed source control system_ is its ability to __clone__ a copy of the repository locally. Having a local copy of the repository gives you complete autonomy.

Use the `git clone` command to clone the repository you created. The `clone` command requires the `<GitHub clone URL>`. 

Clone the repository by following these steps:

1. Click __Clone or Download__, then click the _copy_ or _clipboard_ button.

2. Use the `git clone` command in the terminal, replace the `<Github clone URL>` with the repository’s URL.


# Replace the <GitHub clone URL> with the repository's URL.
git clone <Github clone URL>

3. Change into the repository's directory using the command below:

# Change into the ansible directory
cd ansible

5. List all the contents of the directory and show hidden files using the command below for the `bash` shell:

# List all the contents of the current directory
ls -a

You can use the following command for listing the contents in `PowerShell`:

Notice the `.git` directory. The `.git` folder makes it a `Git` repository. It was added when you created the repository using GitHub's web interface.

# Tracking changes
`Git` does not automatically commit your changes. You are responsible for _staging_ and _committing_ the changes. `Git` is aware of the changes, but you have to tell it which changes it should care about.

When you create new files, they start in the __working area__. `Git` does not track changes to these files, but it is aware they were created. The **working area** is also referred to as "__untracked__."

Let's dive into how to track changes step by step.

1. Create a new file within the `ansible` repository by using the following command:
